Off-spinner Ravichandran Aswhin produced one of his most impactful performances outside the sub-continent as India reduced England to 285 for 9 on the opening day of the first Test match at the Edgbaston cricket ground in Birmingham. Ashwin claimed 4 for 60 and was well accompanied by his team-mate pacer Mohammed Shami. Shami claimed two crucial wickets to put his team in driver's seat. Shami bowled an incisive spell after lunch, dismissing Keaton Jennings (42) and Dawid Malan (8).

Jennings was the first to go, but in an odd manner.

The England batsman tried to block a short-pitched delivery from Shami but got a faint inside edge. The ball went through his legs and dislodged the bails. Jennings looked back in disappointment.
